Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen,

allow me to humbly introduce myself – my name
is Vlad. As I can see, you’ve directed your attention to this blog and this
particular entry, which is a source of endless joy for me. Yes, seriously. This
facial expression is normal for me and means absolutely nothing, no worries. My
shoulders have also always been like this. Or, at least since I have been
reborn as a creature of the night. But this is a longer story, a long and
boring one to be precise. Not like anybody cares.

Nobody,
nobody in the world wants to hear my life-story…

Uhh, where
was I? Aye.I don’t mean to be too
repetitive, but as some of you may have noticed, Schattenspiele the Horror
Comic Anthology is to be found online now on this very domain as explained in
detail in the previous post. Now you may want to challenge yourself with a
question: what is a certain anorexic vampire even doing here talking to us?

Does it
interest you?

I really
don’t mean to appear too irritating…

Like,
seriously?

Very well then: the two ladies of trio were
kind enough to illustrate a short episode from my life. It is a most personal
and traumatic experience connected with a… not quite successful attempt to suck
a virgin’s blood. Very, very funny.Haha. I bet everybody is laughing their ass off because of it. Except
me, that is. But one has to sacrifice everything in the name of art as it lives
eternally, right? I’m usually better at hunting anyway.

Take this
one time in London, as I… ahem.No,
better not.Forget what I said. Or when
I was in Berlin… nooo, not that case, who could have thought that 9-year-olds
can be that good with a swordstick?! And there was also that one time with the
young nun who… who… WHATEVER.

Ah, who am
I kidding?

I’m an
absolute wrack…

I am as
much of a failure of a vampire as I was as a human more than 500 years ago. You
don’t want to know. And to add insult to the injury, I’m doomed to carry the
name of the legendary Count Dracula.As
if my existence wouldn’t be much more that a great big joke with a normal name.
Am I really asking for too much?

I guess I would’ve perished a long time ago,
had I not learned to sneak blood from the hospital. You know, sometimes I
cannot fall asleep in my coffin and think of how the hospital guards probably
know about me andallow me to do this
out of pity. Just imagine, miserable humans feeling sorry for an Immortal…But no, this must be paranoia.

Or maybe I
should really go out into the sun and end this nightmare forever… *suppressed
sob*

If you will
excuse me, I’d like to have a bit of private time now, curl up comfortably in
front of the TV set with a pack of blood and watch Dark Shadows. Not the film
of course, it was terrible…

Sincerely
yours,

Vlad the
Vampire
